Cryptocurrency and Digital Asset Compliance

Workshop overview:

The world of cryptocurrency is transforming the financial landscape, with an increasing number of regulated financial firms exploring its potential, particularly in payment services and digital investments. As adoption in the commercial mainstream accelerates, the need to address knowledge gaps, understand blockchain technology, and navigate compliance challenges such as Anti-Money Laundering (AML) is becoming critical.

This workshop provides a comprehensive introduction to digital currencies, examining the associated risks and the practical steps firms must take in order to ensure compliance with evolving regulations.

Digital currencies, whether used as an alternative payment method or investment vehicle, require a solid understanding of blockchain technology and its inherent risks. This program equips participants with the tools to design robust compliance frameworks that mitigate risks, foster innovation and leverage the commercial opportunities presented.

Learning outcomes:

Build confidence among senior execs and CCOs when dealing with digital assets, (virtual currencies) and digital ledger technology (blockchain)
Consider how regulatory guidance should shape the in-house risk and compliance framework, for effective risk management when dealing with digital assets
Learn actionable frameworks for Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC), fraud detection, and risk management tailored to digital asset ecosystems
Understand digital assets as a means of exchange and payment, including facilitating regulated payments
